Either way, our Studio entered a MEP 'Broken Inside', I was told we made it into the finals. Did anyone see it? God, I am dying to learn how it went
I hope everyone had fun on the convention though, one year i'll go for sure

ZOMG.

I voted for yours for Best in Show. Don't worry at all, yours played very smoothly and the audience loved it, especially me. It was number 29/30, so it was saved for last.

Oh that's awesome, thank's so much 8D Now I am even more excited to know how it went *dies*
My friend said there was a mixing-up with the titles, since they accidentally named it after the Samurai Champloo video before that (unfortunately the first part was Samurai Champloo indeed .-.""), i hope there wasn't remaining confusion .-.
But I am very happy the audience liked it, thanks for your telling me :3

Well I don't know if anything else is waiting for the results, so I might just post them here xD Special thanks to Glitzer for sharing them with us Those aren't all the results though, i will update when I find out more...

(Judges awards)

Otaku Category - Broken Inside MEP by FallenSkiesStudios

Please note that I added the names of the winners myself after doing some research. Meaning names could be different from the ones the editors entered at the Convention. The names here are the ones used on either Youtube or a-m-v.org.

They were shown in that order with the exception of 29 Broken Inside going before 28 Hiji Zuru Style. Luckily the amv information still matched so the order was not really an issue. And indeed, congratulations to the winners!

Looks like a few people beat me to it, but I'm here to post a link to the official winner's list anyway. Sorry for the delay, everyone - I was helping run Registration at the con, in addition to AMVs, and I basically spent all day yesterday unconscious in the aftermath of the Convention
Thanks for your patience, everyone, and thanks to Anisci and Glitzer for helping the thread along in my absence. XD

JUDGES' AWARD - NOOB: Animal Unleashed by Wingspan Design
{Anime: Detroit Metal City} {Music:Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace}

Thank you again from myself, my co-organizers Jarod_Cain and primarchbentley, the judges, and staff of Anime Banzai 2010, for all your hard work, editors. We look forward to seeing you again next year for our contest once again.

The official thread, as always, can be found here.
For those of you who have not yet received your badges and will have won an award at our contest, we will be shipping out everything before the end of next week at the latest. Hope you all like them, in any case. :3

Thank you again, everyone! I hope you all would like to enter the contest again next year - hopefully now that the new team has gone through its first year con growing pains, we'll be more organized and the technical glitches won't repeat themselves...

(A note on that, while we're at it: the equipment director for the convention essentially didn't want us to bring in our own PC to run the AMV show, claiming instead that his set up in Main Events should be able to handle "whatever we throw at him"... Unfortunately for him, the video files turned out to be a bit too much for his poor little six year old WinXP laptop, and skipping ensued. Needless to say, we won't be letting him get away with this next year )

And Rider4Z, we started off with your video not only because it was awesome, but because our Convention Theme for the year was "Visual Kei/J-Rock"; it was a perfect fit, I have to say. :3
Next year's theme will be Steampunk, which may be a little teeny bit harder to match thematically, but I always look forward to seeing what everyone has to offer!

@RedcapGordo: You really don't have to apologize, it's natural that you had tons of cleaning up to do, so thank you very much for all the hard work around the contest! Again, i really wished i could have gone...

Congratulations to all the winners For everyone else there is sure to be next years competition too, I watched some of the amvs that didn't win of the showing list and there were some really nice ones!!

(On a side note, I was really happy that our MEP Broken Inside actually won something, i was only a bit confused seeing that it won 'Otaku Award', khehe XDDD Thanks for clearing it up now, technical is indeed a nice win *happy*)

Out of curiosity, has anyone else received their awards yet? I'm not in any hurry, but since I recently moved I just want to make sure that there wasn't some post office error or something (wouldn't be the first time the USPS has done that).
